Master Light SwitchBy INNCOM
When it comes to guestroom lighting control compliance with the IECC,
ADA and NEC codes, you could take the traditional, costly approach and
wire every lighting circuit to a switch and relay by the entry door. Even in a
modestly sized standard room, this could add as much as 200 extra feet of
conduit and wiring, as well as the labor necessary to wire the lamp plugs
to work with the entry master switch. Once in use, such a system has been
known to cause guest complaints because lights in the room won’t work
unless the entry switch is on. But it does not have to be that way!
The INNCOM® Occupancy-Based Master Light Switch automatically turns
off lighting in unoccupied rooms without ever inconveniencing the guest.
When the guest enters the room, the Master Light Switch illuminates a
welcome lighting scene; when the guest leaves, all lights turn off. Using
smart INNCOM switches and Lamp Control Modules, lighting can be
custom programmed to suit your room design. Additionally, the system is
engineered to ensure that light fixtures will work when an occupant wants
them to work, regardless of whether the master switch is in the on or
off position.
• Every switch or lamp can be programmed to suit your room design –
Superior guest functionality.
• The INNCOM master switch works effectively at the door without
adversely affecting guest comfort.
• Significant project cost reduction on the wiring, conduit and labor
needed as compared to traditional wiring.
• The INNCOM solution also enables the property to automatically
turn off lighting in un-occupied rooms – your contribution to a better
environment.

planning for all your guestroom control needs.

Proposed measure requires:
• Mandatory installation of automatic controls for HVAC, and lighting, in
guest rooms
• Controls return HVAC equipment to a setback position and turn off
lighting when room is empty
Title 24 Guest Room Occupancy Controls California Statewide Utility Codes and Standards Program
Hotel/Motel Guest Room Occupancy Controls for HVAC and lighting
systems would require installation of occupancy controls for HVAC
equipment, and all lighting fixtures in hotel/motel guest rooms, including
plug in lighting. These occupancy controls can be captive card key
controls, or occupancy sensor based control.
Daylighting control requirements have also been vastly expanded. The new
code will require photocontrols in all interior day lit spaces with at least
120W of installed lighting power. This change in criteria, from sizeable
areas to modest lighting power use, significantly expands the number of
spaces required to use photocontrols, affecting virtually every office or
commercial space with skylights or windows.

INNCOM Lighting ControlHoneywell understands that guestroom lighting control is more than
just being able to turn lights on and off. Lighting control encompasses
everything from basic energy savings to creating memorable guest
experiences. Our environmentally friendly lighting systems comply with
energy-conservation building codes and can include an all on / off
Master Light Switch to ensure that lights are always off in unoccupied
rooms. Our lighting controls provide comfort, safety and convenience, too.
Automatic nightlights and entry welcome lights guide and assure guests
in an otherwise darkened room, while multi-point control makes it easy
for guests to adjust lighting from virtually anywhere in the guestroom.
Honeywell's INNCOM offerings give you design tools to create both the
visual interface (custom wall-mounted panels, tabletop touchscreens) and
the lighting experience (focused task lighting, ambient mood lighting). We
will also work with you to adapt your custom system to meet your unique
requirements
